Where this position leads

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Alcohol consumption (drinks per week) compared to the general population.

A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Alcohol consumption (drinks per week).

G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Alcohol consumption (drinks per week) — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs2424645

What is rs2424645?

rs2424645 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CST7 gene. Published research associates it with alcohol consumption (drinks per week). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs2424645 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Alcohol Consumption. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs2424645 mean I will get this?

No. Common variants like this one move a probability slightly and, on their own, rarely decide anything about one person. Nothing on this page is a diagnosis, and health decisions should be made with a clinician who can see your whole picture.

Where does the information about rs2424645 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2019, PMID:30643258. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
